In our rendition of “Romeo & Juliet, ” where two teenage members of the families, Romeo (Montague) and Juliet (Capulet), fall in love at a party, but have to keep it a secret because of their feuding families. All the action unfolding against a backdrop of impulsivity and 80s music. Performed in just under the âone hour of trafficâ promised in the prologue, it hurtles towards itâs tragic end.
Within our year five joint production, the characters are in colourful trendy costumes and their decisions are made in the heat of the moment by characters both young and old, showcasing how tragedy can stem from the pursuit of permanent solutions to fleeting dilemmas, when they pull out their knives, it is a dance to the death.
Itâs fast, emotional, with lots of movement and stage combat – hopefully everyone found it intensely watchable.
